Tools for MySQL Database

There are many tools available for MySQL DB. Some of them are really helpful for performing different kind of tasks for MySQL database. Like for database administration, we can use MySQL Enterprise Monitor (which is coming with MySQL Enterprise version and it is paid version too). http://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/monitor.html

In the Open source technology, one of the best tool is the new version of MySQL Workbench (provided by MySQL). This tool is providing all 3 tools which are useful for admin, developing and ERD creation tasks. In older version, these all 3 things was coming separately by MySQL but now its combined in one.

DbForge Studio for MySQL is the universal MySQL and MariaDB client for database management, administration and development. With the help of this intelligent MySQL client the work with data and code has become easier and more convenient. Devart’s MySQL GUI tool provides utilities to compare, synchronize, and backup MySQL databases with scheduling, and gives possibility to analyze and report MySQL tables data.

Kontrollbase is little bit hard to install on the DB servers but Its really very helpful for monitoring and performance tuning of the MySQL DB servers. It has email alerts facility too.

Nagios and Cacti are perfect for monitoring stuff. Specially Cacti is providing graphic functionality on the basis of server statistics so, we can easily identify all over performance of the server through graphs.
